Software Rates
/in project controlThe impact of different factors upon Function Point (FP) is explored, such as implementation of estimation/productivity models & de-localization of providers
Project Management Triangle
/in project controlHowever, especially in ICT industry majority of the projects overrun both the budget and schedule, and deliver less functionality than expected. In this presentation we take another look at the project management triangle, to learn how to get more outcomes with spending less money and time.
Outsourcing Productivity
/in outsourcingBased on the speaker’s experience negotiating and managing many outsourcing contracts using Function Points as a Key Performance Indicator, this presentation describes the pitfalls that can be experienced if one takes too simplistic a view of the meaning and use of Function Point data and suggests ways in which they may be avoided.
Nesma Estimation
/in estimationThis paper evaluates the validity of using NESMA EFP as an alternative to IFPUG FP, in the early estimation of software development effort.
Software Development Improvement
/in project controlBy analyzing historical data from the software industry, it is possible to improve the software productivity and quality. This is done through benchmarking and management decisions about software development practices.
Measuring with Cosmic
/in project controlup to now there exists no agreed method of measuring defects in ICT. UML sequence diagrams is a software model that describes data movements between actors and objects and allows for automated measurements using ISO/IEC 19761 COSMIC. Can we also use it for defect measurements that allows applying standard Six Sigma techniques to ICT by measuring both functional size and defect density in the same model?
Sizing for Estimation and Benchmarking
/in sizingSizing can be a normalizing factor for estimating, measurement and benchmarking. A size measure is required for functional and non-functional size. This uses IFPUG Function Point Analysis and Software non-functional Assessment Process (SNAP).
Productivity of Enterprise Software
/in productivityThis presentation reports the analysis results of clarifying factors that affect productivity of enterprise software projects.
Software Project Cost
/in project controlImplementing productivity models helps in the understanding of Software Development Economics, which up to now is not entirely clear. Most organizations believe that the only way to achieve improvements is lowering software rates.
Software Business Improvements
/in project controlIn an IT context companies struggling to increase profits and often view IT as a necessary evil: one that consumes resources rather contributes to the bottom line. These organizations often don’t see value in data collection analysis or benchmarking either. However, IT can be a significant contributor when IT decisions are made after measuring and estimating both cost and return.
Process Improvement Benchmarks
/in benchmarkingOrganizations are constantly pressured to prove their value to their leadership and customers. A relative comparison to “peer groups” is often seen as useful and objective, so benchmarking becomes important.
Software KPIs
/in project controlThis presentation provides a walkthrough of application development KPIs that were used to understand the performance of a 6,000 Function Points program. This program composed of 18 modules/projects was delivered in 20 months consuming over 220,000 hours. Several analysis were performed during the program execution but the presentation focus on the final results and lessons learned.
ISBSG Data Analysis
/in project control, recommendedAs corporate subscribers and partners to the International Software Benchmarks Standards Group (ISBSG ), PRICE has access to a wealth of data about software projects.
Software Cost Estimation
/in estimationThe Total Cost Management Framework of the Authority for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International is an integrated approach to Project Management.
Application Lifecycle Management
/in project controlRequirements play a crucial role in the definition of the boundaries and identity of a project: their traceability, correct development, sharing with the stakeholders and validation determine the project failure or success. Moreover, Quality Assurance (QA) processes facilitate project management activities.
